For Real Estate Teams
Most teams hire ops to bring order to chaos. Then they watch that person spend 70% of their time fighting fires instead of growing the business. The right sequence is OpenHouse first, ops second.
| An Ops Manager | OpenHouse Tier 3 | |
|---|---|---|
| What they do | Runs your business day-to-day. Manages your team, your TC, your transactions, your reporting. | Builds the systems that let an ops manager (or your TC, or you) run your business in half the time. |
| Monthly cost | $4,000–$8,000+ part-time $7,000–$12,000+ full-time |
$1,800/mo |
| Time to value | 60–90 days to ramp; longer if no systems exist | 14 days to deploy; first wins in week two |
| How cost scales | Scales linearly — more deals = more hours = more pay | Flat — systems handle the volume |
| If they leave | Tribal knowledge walks out — back to square one | Systems and documentation stay. Next hire inherits everything |
The right sequence is OpenHouse first, then hire ops. Most teams do it backwards — they hire an ops manager to bring order to chaos, then watch that person spend the majority of their time fighting fires instead of growing the business.
With systems in place first, an ops hire is 2–3× more effective from day one and costs you less because they don't need to be senior enough to architect from scratch. If after 6 months you still want to hire ops, OpenHouse pays for itself just in reduced job scope — you'll need fewer hours, junior-er talent, and the person you do hire will hand you reporting on day one instead of building it for 90 days.
The In-House Alternative
To replicate the Team Operations Engine in-house, a team typically hires:
OpenHouse Tier 3
List price. Founding rate: $20,500 Year 1.
That's 6×–9× cheaper than the in-house equivalent, with 14-day deployment instead of 60–90 days of onboarding per hire, and zero hiring, firing, or training overhead.
What's Included
Round-robin lead routing with overflow rules. Every lead gets to the right agent within seconds — even if your primary agent is in a closing.
Each team member gets variations on the main sequences in their own voice. Leads don't see a templated team blast — they see their actual agent.
Under-contract checklists, document tracking, closing reminders — automated. Your TC stops being the bottleneck on every transaction.
Agent-by-agent metrics auto-pulled. See response times, conversion rates, pipeline value per agent — no more manually rebuilding the weekly report.
For teams actively growing: automated nurture for prospective agents, application tracking, and onboarding checklist for new hires.
Direct founder cadence. Your system gets faster, sharper, more tailored every single week — not "monthly maintenance" you forget about.
